Hi all,

I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant and wear a size 18 (uk). Still feel like I barely have a bump!

This is a thread for us to share our bump photos Smile

Hey OP, I think you defo have a bump!x

TheGriffle · 26/05/2020 08:01

Sorry pressed post by accident!

I’m not pregnant now but I’ve had 2 plus size pregnancies. I’m a size 18/20. I didn’t feel like I got a bump until very late on. This pic is when I was about 38 weeks with number 2.

I also had what I call a B belly where my bump still had a dip in the middle.

Size 22 when I started the pregnancy but barely gained any weight so may go back to a 20 after the birth (fingers crossed 🤞). 35wks in this one, am 36wk now x

I'm looking forward to my bump.
You all look beautiful x

I’m a size 18 and currently 32 weeks pregnant. I didn’t get a noticeable bump until probably 28 weeks in my view! I think a body that is any size is incredible, and I thank mine everyday for growing our baby girl healthily!

I was a 22/24 before pregnancy and have lost about 5lbs since the beginning. 20 weeks on Thursday and I feel huge already 😂. Everyone looks great!

My bump is getting even bigger now, and I think my milk is coming in too, I have boobs that could drown a baby elephant now 😂. I'd share another piccy but my latest one was a bad angle so you can't rly see bump even though if I walk near small objects they start orbiting me.

RBSK1 · 01/06/2020 17:09

Size 20/22 pre pregnancy this was last week at 22+5 weeks. Never really had "a belly" before but she's really popped out!

You all look lovely! I'm only 18+4 and don't look pregnant at all Sad

I was a size 18/20 pre pregnancy but I've got en enormous apron after losing 60kg after weight loss surgery, so I think I'm going to end up with a B belly with my horrible apron hanging down underneath. DP keeps lovingly stroking my fat rolls and whispering to the baby but I have to tell him he's not anywhere near where the baby would be Grin

Addler · 01/07/2020 11:08

Also when did you all start feeling movements? It's my first and I haven't felt anything yet which I know is normal, but hard to believe there's something in there and it's okay since I don't look or feel pregnant!

FrugiFan · 01/07/2020 11:11

@Addler I didnt feel movements until about 21 weeks with my first, it's quite common especially if you are larger or have anterior placenta (I was both)

richtea3389 · 01/07/2020 11:56

Hi ladies Smile

I am currently 22+5 with baby number 4 and size 18/20. Saw my midwife yesterday and she said my uterus is high up about where it should be at 28 weeks hence a lot of my movements at the top of my tummy. I question every day whether I look fat or pregnant and drive myself nuts. This is the biggest I've been and already gained so much weight it's embarrassing to even look at the scales.

Love to see similar bump photos and feel normal Smile

@richtea3389 you look amazing! And very noticeably pregnant 🥰

@Addler I’ve only recently started showing and i’m surprised that it’s more of D than a B shape. I’ve recently lost 3.5 stone.

I’m only just starting to feel movements now at 23 weeks. I have an anterior placenta too!

Xx

I'm not pregnant now but this was me at 39+3 - I was a size 20-22 before I got pregnant. I had an anterior placenta too and felt movements from around 23 weeks-ish. I loved every minute of being pregnant (once I stopped puking every five minutes).

Wow!! Thanks for sharing @glossier! If I look anything like you at 39 weeks, I’ll be delighted!

@glossier you have the bump I can only dream of!

glossier · 01/07/2020 16:20

I was very lucky - DD was massive (10lb 13oz at birth at 41+5 and no gestational diabetes!) so my bump never dropped which helped keep it out and front. I felt great. Just had a few days of carpal tunnel right at the very end. I look and feel FAR worse now after 2.5 years of parenting! Grin

Kodiak83 · 01/07/2020 16:29

I’m currently 18+5. Third baby. Sometimes I feel there’s a bump and other times I don’t at all! If I hold the tummy in a bit at the top I think you see it better. I’m a size 16.

suziedoozy · 01/07/2020 16:33

Wow! Loving all these bumps!
I’m a size 20 & my baby is 15mths but a week before I gave birth I was at the gym in Lycra (good thing it stretches!) and someone asked if I was sure I was pregnant. I literally never got the lovely baby bump you all have I just looked like I have been eating all the pies over winter! I even graduated at 7months and you couldn’t tell in the pictures!!

You all look amazing and I am very jealous of all your lovely bumps xx

katsnmouse · 02/07/2020 16:02

This is so lovely to see- plus size bumps 😊. i’ve been feeling a bit 😕 as i’m 19 wk with dc3 and have a B shaped bump going on. Somedays it doesn’t bother me at all, then othertimes i get a bit down about it. Silly i know.
